Beet Leaf Roll-ups image

Beet Leaves never tasted soooooo goooood! My mom used to fix this recipe often, with the abundance of beet leaves she had on hand when she operated a market garden in Alberta Beach, Alberta, Canada. I find myself searching market gardens for beet-leaves now that I've left home... And once you try this recipe, you'll keep looking for beet leaves again too!

I followed the recipe exactly and my roll-ups didn't turn out at all. The leaves were too tough and the filling was too runny.

These were good, but not great. The beet leaves were a little tough and the filling was a bit bland.
